A friend has a extremely tiny yorkie & - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My friend, who has a ver tiny fully grown yorkie. She has been letting family members take care of her because she works. She has not even seen her yorkie in weeks.
I met up with her , because she is a caregiver to an elderly couple in my complex. I was able to see her little itty baby.
It was shocking

This yorkie is pretty energetic , and everything, however, IS STARVING to death. It was grossly thin, I could feel all her bones up her spind and fell all of her ribs , their is just nothing left to her. Nancy, my friend did say something is wrong with her.... I first thought of worms, but she has been wormed, and has had 2 series of vaccines. Nancy my friend was allowing two teeager girls be responsible for her baby, and told me they they just leave her crated all the time, and she just get filthy with urin and poo.
When we got to her families house we ended up waiting because one of the girls were bathing her. Probably because she was very smelly. and the girls did not want Nancy to see her that way.
The poor little one , and I mean extrmemly small yorkie had her hair grown out, but they kept tying her hair into a pony tail. The pony tail was out, and the yorkie was matted there on top of her head. Nancy gave her a dentatix and she had eaten it like crazy.
I gave Nancy a super high organic canned food , 95% protien from wellness , I only had one can, then I gave her what I had left the rest of my bag of Wellness super 5 mix. Nancy told me to give her some, and she ate like crazy, They were not giving her enogh to eat at all. I am feeling so sad about this yorkie. No dog ought to ever be in this kind of shape ever.
Her wee one has a lot of energy too, despite being soo dang hungry.
I let her know that I could watch her when she works , and stuff.
Nancy says she hasa little room she can put her in at her house, but we all know yorkie's want to be with people.
Aparently, her family members did not like to clean up after this little one, and just kept her crated all the time. So she is not trained to potty or anything, even on puppy pads. Being so tiney, I am sure she is not making a huge mess .
I got to hold her and she was sooo wiggly , it scared me , Nancy told me the yorkie loves to climb up to her neck.
Nancy told me she is keeping her for a couple weeks , to show them that she was starving. I advised her not to take the yorkie backover there.
i have never seen such a starving, anorexic , dog before. Especially such a tiny yorkie, that could of not weighed even a pound. Their is just nothing to her.
I told her if she were sick she would not be eating , and she was eating , starvingly. I hope it is not too late to save her. This has been very upsetting to me.
She is the most cutest little it bitty yorkie too. my gosh this yorkie is neglected , and her owner did tell me that. I just do not know if she will survive . Such a shame . In their back yard they had a really pretty Boxer, that dog looked great, very healthy and their was a huge bag of dog food for the boxer....

How sad. I hope that the owner can step up and take care of this dog.

how sad....

chestermama · 03-07-2011, 05:14 PM

that is so sad and I feel badly for this poor baby, how can they sleep at night the way they have been taking care of her

Maximo · 03-07-2011, 05:15 PM

If I understand correctly, your friend Nancy is the owner, but she is allowing family, 2 teenage girls take care of the little Yorkie and they are starving her.

Why doesn't Nancy provide food to be fed to the Yorkie?

Sammy Mommy · 03-07-2011, 05:16 PM

Would you be able to take her in if your friend agreed to it? You sound like you love and care for this little dog and could give her a good home.

Buster Brown · 03-07-2011, 05:20 PM

Not only is it sad it is abuse. OMG this poor baby. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CRUELTY OF PEOPLE. I hope the Nancy takes better care of the elderly people than she does of her OWN DOG. If she can not take care of it she should rehome it. I hope you can watch over this poor puppy and be her/his guardian angel. I am praying that this poor puppy finds someone who will look out for her. It is just not right and I am sick to my stomach thinking of this poor starving and neglected baby. PLEASE HELP IT OR CONVINCE THEM TO REHOME IT. Why does Nancy need a dog if she is just going to ignore it. I am sorry I am just so upset!

I don't think Nancy knew that her yorkie was going starving. She did tell me she had not seen her own dog in several weeks. Then she says, Oh they have been feeding her, however, the last time she saw her dog, she was not this bad of shape as she is now. i do not even think that Nancy was aware of itThankfully she took her yorkie home with her. I do know that this little yorkie is in danger of still losing her life. Lets say she gets a cold or something, that dog would not even be able to fight it off. i hope she lets me help her though.

Excatly ! I don't get it either ... I hope she lets me help her! I'm telling you all that this was the most thinniest , dog i have ever seen, it was gross. That is why I am scared that she won't make it.

The dog should see a vet to make sure that something more than food isn't needed.

Buster Brown · 03-07-2011, 05:34 PM

Well I am glad she now knows that they were not taking care of her. What a shock when you assume your family members are taking care of your dog and then find out otherwise. I hope Nancy can find a better solution. I understand how difficult it is to have to work and the demands of a little dog. I am glad she has the dog now. It is sad that she is so busy she can not see the dog for weeks. I hope it works out and thank you for looking out for the little one.

mscat · 03-07-2011, 05:34 PM

I was told that the dog has recieved vet care , vaccinated 2 times, and dewormed. BUT, if a vet had seen her reently, I would think the vet would Call animal control, or SPCA to come and get her. the yorkie was all kissess towards Nancy , and so energetic that I was afraid to hold her ... Scared she fall out of my hands.

Perrella · 03-07-2011, 05:35 PM

This is so very sad. Tell your friend straight up that you are good friends but you cannot live with yourself knowing this little helpless dog is being starved. Beg her it necessary to take her, offer to buy her or see if she will atleast let you care for her. Surely, your friend could not be that selfish and heartless.
Good luck, please keep us posted. I will pray this girl sees reason.

Yes, I could tell Nancy was not happy with the condition her baby was in. However, I really think that she should of been going over there several times a week to make sure dog was in good hands. I am definately following up on this. If Nancy can't handle her little one , i will try to get her to let me help her , at least until she is healthy again, but iknow it is going to be hard to give her back up to Nancy....

The dog should see a vet now because serious malnutrition can be a serious condition that may require more than just food at this point. The dog should be turned over to someone with the finances and time to properly care for her.
